AJA Ki Pro Go

Ki Pro GO is a portable multi-channel H.264 recorder and player offering up to 4-channels of simultaneous HD and SD recording to off the shelf USB drives with redundant recording capabilities.

4x 3G-SDI and 4x HDMI digital video inputs with flexible channel assignments provides connections to the latest video sources, including cameras. Incoming video sources can be mixed and matched, via Ki Pro GO's Genlock free recording capability. High quality 2-channel embedded audio or balanced XLR analog audio can be assigned to any recording channel. Multi-Channel Matrix Monitoring enables multiple video channels to be viewed on any single HDMI display.

Designed to be either portable or rackmountable with half rack wide, 2RU high dimensions, Ki Pro GO is well suited for use in any environment.

Genlock Free Recording with Easy Input Mapping

Record 1, 2, 3 or 4-channels of HD or SD up to 1080p 50/60 in H.264 simultaneously with Ki Pro Ultra GO.

Simplify your setup by connecting up to four HDMI and four 3G-SDI source cables into Ki Pro GO and assign any combination of four inputs at a time for four channels of H.264 recording to the four USB slots on the front of Ki Pro GO.

Time is always tight, especially for live events. Ki Pro GO's Genlock free inputs make it is easy to switch your sources including SDI cameras, DSLRs, or HDMI cameras to the appropriate recording channel, all conveniently mapped within Ki Pro GO's elegant UI.

H.264 Variable Bit Recording (VBR)

Ki Pro GO allows independent profile support per channel for recording; up to 25 Mbs at 8 or 10-bit for any channel assignment depending upon your delivery need or eventual bandwidth allocation for the file's playback stream. You can also choose between 4:2:0 and 4:2:2 color depth.

Pick between Low, Medium and High VBR Recording Profiles:

• Low: Suitable for talking heads, conference backups, security backups and more.
• Medium: Ideal for higher detail and more complex content.
• High: Serves well for fast moving, highly detailed content like sports or live event scenarios like concerts.

Ki Pro GO offers .MP4 and .MOV for your codec container, providing convenient flexibility for your workflow path.

Redundant Recording

Ki Pro GO offers a large matrix of possibilities for redundant recording needs.

Four USB ports on the front provide easy to access recording media using off the shelf USB drives. A fifth USB port on the rear provides redundant recording of all channels simultaneously, either for backup or pass on of a secondary copy of captured files to postproduction, clients, or others on your team.

Ki Pro GO further allows any combination of recording channels to be sent directly to a particular port of choice. The workflows below provide some examples of just some of the possibilities possible with Ki Pro GO's focus on a key concept of ‘pass out’ or ‘pass around’ or ‘handout’ media. Hit stop on your recordings and the show is ready to give to your clients right there and then.
